Effects of External Calcium Deprivation on Single Muscle Fibers

Deprivation of external calcium causes sudden potentiation of the twitch response of single muscle fibers. The potentiation was 64 ± 8%. Potentiation is simultaneous with membrane depolarization occurring after Ca++ removal. This depolarization amounted to 9 ± 2 mv. Ca++ removal also alters the act...
